There is no such thing as ad blocking in the mobile app unless you have "Reddit Premium". To that point, the vast majority of reddit's users are using the official reddit app. For reference, here's a sample of the statistics for /r/baltimore.

Hmm, that's crazy to me, I don't know of anyone who uses the official Reddit app. It was an absolutely horrible experience up until like ~2016.

That doesn't specify they're using the 'Official' app.

No adds on Sync, and on desktop ublock origin takes care of them.

It's still a horrible, bloated mess even to this day. RIF on phone and "old.reddit.com" on PC for me.

Reddit enhancement suite + old reddit on PC. And uBlock origin or a pi-hole to block the ads.

Same here - though, if you use RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite), you don't need to specify "old.reddit.com", and you can just set your preference to use "Old Reddit".

My understanding - though this may be incorrect - is that "Reddit Apps" is reflective of the official app across both iOS, iPadOS, and Android. Users who utilize other applications do so effectively via Reddit's API and are not reflected in these statistics.

Yeah would be curious to know what Apollo’s share of those stats are. Seems like it has a pretty big user base (as I write from Apollo lol).
